Description

300 subs with my 6 inch Celestron SCT.  Threw out half due to bad star shape, likely due in part to not using an off-axis guider. Got a pleasant surprise playing with the color balance in Lightroom Classic when the dust clouds around the edges suddenly appeared.  

Picture is heavily cropped of course given the small apparent size of the target.
